Pakington. TO THE EDITOR OF THE LONDON NEWS. ‘SiR—My atteution has been calle { to the following sen- ‘ence in your leading article of yestorday :— Notwithstauding, therefore, they (the Bay Islands) had ce! ly been treated as a British territury by our ‘West India governors and admirals, it was, it can hardly e denied, a very great mistake in Sir John Pali pa: eae Colouiai Secretary, to erect them into a Br! colony, Teeest you will permit me to state, with reference to the above, that the policy of erecting the Bay Islands gato a Brith colony was adopted by the administration of i Lord Joha Russe! ‘The preparat on of a commission for the Bay Island wes-directed by predecessor, Earl Grey, in January 1852; and whea I took oflice nothing remained to com qwilete the arrangements but to sign the warrant, a copy 0. which has been lately presented to Parliament, and t» ssend out a despatch to the Governor of Jamaica, both o ‘which papers were prepared previous to my appointment _ Lam responsible, theretore, only to the extent that th government of which I was a member did not feel calle! ‘upon to resciud arrangements which had been s0 nearly scompleted under the preceding administration, JOHN 8. PAKINGTON. {From the London News, June 23.) we do not understind the dritt of the letter acddressed to us by Sir John Pekington, and published in another columa. “If Sir John is of opinion that the erec- tion of the Bay Islands into a British colony was 4 just and politic measure, way 13 he so anxious to disclaim the roity of ity If he is of opinion that it was unjust and mpolitic, way did he lend himself to carry it into effect? ‘We suspect that the letter is little more than an irropres- sible groan of angui-h over the consequences of the equi- ‘vocal game which Sir Jou is playing. Thera is one per- sonal misfortune attending Sir John Pakington’s political position—at one moment liberal in principles, at another uitra tery in practice. For bis trespasses on .the domains of liberalism he is every now and then obliged to exagge- rate the feelings of his party about matters which, com- paratively, they ore indifferent to, And on such ogca- tions he betray’s his insincerity by hs excess of emphasis; he resembles an empty barrel reverberaiing its own hol- jowness when struck. ‘Thus, on Tuesday evening he stayed away, and would ‘not yote for bir. Wulpole’s motion ou the system of Irish education, of which, itis believed, he very heartily dis- approves; and to compound for that sin of omission, on Friday night he ovt-Bailiied the unfortanate Mr. Baillie in hurting reproaches at the government for their Ameri- ultment question, in utter forgetful- tuess of two thivgs:—First, that Mr. Baillie had—avowedl, in obedience to (he general feeling of the party to whic Sir John Pakington stil affects to beioug, and against his own opinions—withdrawn the notice of « vote of censure on government, which he has in an endless variety of forms had on the books for months past; and secondly, ‘that when in power himself, Sir John Pakington, as Colo- uial Secretary, ordered the Admiralty to despatch a flo tulla of fourteen small vessels to prevent what ho called American aggressions on the British fisheries in the Bay of Fundy, and completed the creation of the Bay Islands nto a Britieh coloay, in gross violatioa, say the Ameri- cans, of the Clayton-3ulwer treaty, and utter disregard, say we, of any liritish interests.

In pursuance of this policy, on Monday, last week, we had Mr. Disraeli uttering sententions and ponderous plati- ‘tudes in anticipation of the Cincinnati democratic resolu- ‘tions; and on Friday Sir J. Pakington not ouly out Baillied ‘Mr. Baillie in tory wrath against the Bri ish government, but in defence of the American government out Marcied Mr. Marcy, and became more American than the Ameri- scans, Thus it alwaye is with fictitious and dishonest zeal ; the froth and foam ci exaggeration. find, Lowever, no response in the gentlemen ; accordingly, on Monday Tory party cheered Mr. Disraeli, and on grew. worse, for then’ Sir J.

First in political importance, activity, and power of uniting, come the democrats, These, as our New York contemporary says, “ notwith standing their bloody rows, revolvers, bowie knives aud Dludgeons, their assaults and batteries, and intestine feuds and quarrels, rally like a band of brothers upon a com mon ticket for the great common object of the spotls,”” which have been, we are told, ‘augmented under our Pierce administration to the magnificent democratic figure of one hundred million (dollars) a year.’ These have chosen their man in Mr. Buchanan, nm comes a string of parties and factions that want to unite, in opposition to the democrats, upon some otber man, but have not as yet been able :—‘‘First, there are the pro-slavery Know Nothings, with their ticket of Fillmore Donel- sor. Second, there are the anti-slavery Know Nothings, who are to determine ia general convention on the 12th where they are to go. Third, the nigger worshippers proper, who hold their nominating ¢onveation at Phila- delphia on the 17th, Lastly, there are the radical aboli- tionists, with their banner toating in the breeze, bearing the names of Gerrit Smith, a highly “respectable and esti mable white man, except upon the nigger question and Frederick Douglass, a shrowd and smart mulatto fugitive from Southern labor, who make a stump speech, edit a paper, or cook’ or eat a dish of fried oysters in & style almost equal to that of our celebrated ‘ free colored Atncricsn,? the great T.

The ‘Know Nothings,’ how- ever, sufler, as a party, from the gr at dividing question of slavery, and are split up into proslavery Know Nothings aud anti-slavery Know Nothings. This is the Know Nothing party. The other, or the philanthropic re- ligious party, 1s the anti-slavery one; and this appears to be split into nigger worshippers proper, or the radical aboiitionlsts, and another and more moderate section. On a first turvey of the ficld, thea, and a prima facie comparison of forces, our New York contemporary’ ex- pects every one to anticipate that the united democratic party will, against sucu contlicting elements, have pothing to do but to walk r the oo , and walk into th loaves and fishes without resistance. But a closer view, he thinks, corrects this certain expectation, and makes the istue more doubtful. The National Council of the Know Nothings has, indeed, been wasting timo in discuss- 8, passwords, signs, grips, witks and blinks, vsterous rubbish; and the first day's ses atteaded by Southern men.

On the one hand are the democrats, who sppear, contrary to our associa- ticns with this pacty name ia this country, to have form- ed an aliance with slavery, and so to have wou the pbame ot “vigger drivers:”” on the other hand is tho old genuine Yankee blood, with ite hatred and contempt of the emigrant end Romanist, and the anti-slavery cause.

One of these memorials Was sent io 186%, and the other last year. Tho witness read an abstiact of the last imermorial, which, as the chairman observed, did not pray so mueh for the aboli- tion of the dues themselves, as that they might be levied at some port where the ships stopped to deliver their cargoes, and that they should not be e ‘lied to inter- rupt their voyage by stopping at Elsinore; the Chamber of Commerce were of opixion that the dnes should be paid on the cargoes, noton the slips. The amount paid oy Liverpool apnuslly towards the Sound dues was from £100,600 to £120,000. Mr. Thomas Higgins, @ merchant of Liverpool, waa next examined. He sakt he exported salt to the Baltic, which paid 13. 7d. per ton Sound dues, He was pot aware that any complaint bad ever been made to the Danish government on the subject of the dues; be believ- ed bo alteration bad been made in the dues since the tariff fot 1645; he believe1 if the dues were lowered the consumption would be larger; the salt trade of Eng- land was exposed to very great competition both by the Mediterrarean and by ianenburg. There was not less than 100,000 tons of salt exported annually from Kgtand to the Baltio, and which passed the Sound. He believed the amount of Sound dues paid by the salt trade of Eag- land generally was £6,000 a-year. By Mr. B. Moore—T® price of salt now at Hul! was 175. per ton; at Liverpool it was about 10s.; the differeace of freight varied. By Mr. Disracli—Their ships paid 1s. aton duty going down the river Weaver, which was almost as much as they paid for Soud dues,’ they received no value tor that duty pad on the Weaver ir. Hallewson, a merchant and soap boiler of New- castle, and two other witnesses, were examined to the same effect, after which the committee adjourned. THE SARAR L. BRYANT AT ELSINORE. [Correspondence of the London News Exsinorr, June 18, 1856. I was yesterday enabled to transmit to you by the tele- graph the important intelligence that the first American vessel that arrived in the Sound since the expiration of the treaty with America had paid the Sound dwes under protest. “The vessel in question was the Sarah L. Bryant, of Boston, Captain Gellerson, from St. Petersburg to New York, with a general cargo of Russian produce. The captain, at the instance of, and accompanied by, the United States Consul at this place, made his declaration at the Sound dues ofice in the usual manner, but pro- testing formally against the act of payment, and reserving to himself on the part of the owners of the ship and cargo the right of receiving back the full amount of the dues paid, in the event of its being decided at any subsequent period, by an understanding between the go- veriments of the United States and Denmark, that Ameri- can vessels be exempted from tue payment of the Sound after the expiration of the treaty, which ceased on the 14th inst. The officers of the Sound Dues olfice were rather startied at the conduct of Captain Gillerson, and in the course of the day drew up and lodged with the Ameri- can, Consul a counter-protest against the course pursued Dy the captain. But the most extraordiuary part of the story is that the Sound Dues office people eutered the ship avd charged the duty and fees belonging to the privileged nations— that is, those ons with whom Denmark is bound by le treaty having expired, it is clear in lay no claim to be included in ding to the general rule snd the aid much higher dues as a existing tariff, ougbt io bi bou-privileged ship.

Improved Condition of Irolan ‘rom the London Post, June 25.) The prosperous condition of Ireland, ia its presen course of steady improvement, may well be considered one of the best signs of the times. After being for years the stage on which fierce quarrels, ecclesiastical and po- litical, were carried on incessantiy—after being the sceno of party disputes, to which the misery and want of the people, along with the feeling of injustice and unequal treatment, gave @ dangerous and unprecedented bitterness: —it has now, to all appearances, passed the crisi and turning point of its history, and has entered on a career of prosperity and, physical well-being which acts beneficially in Promoting’ a greater degree of content ment, aud enabling the people to view the questions that used to disturb them more aispassionately, and without the excitement and bias arising from present pain and stflering that constituted so large a part of the political capital of demagogues and agitators in former years. Evidences of this prosperity may be found on all ‘sides. The ninth annual repcrt of the Irish Poor Law Com- missioners, has recently been presented to the Lord Lieutenant, corroborates the inferences that have been drawn from other sources of information. From this report it by oo that notonly has a rapid dimi- nution of pauperism n taking place of late in the sis- ter kingdom, but that the ratio of decrement has been increasing from tite to time during the last two or three years. ‘The employment of English and Scotch capital on Irish ground bas had the happiest effects in developing the resources ofthe country, in improving its agriculture, and in ameliorating the condition of the laboring classes. And heace the reports of the Poor-law Inspectors contain cheering accounts of the rate of wages, and the general State of the poorer population, These reports, it is stated, ‘* show that the material improvement in the rate of wages, and the increased constancy of employment of agricul: tural laborers and their families, dweit upon in last report, has not only been sustained, but has further advanced, and acquired a stili more permanent and healthy aspect. It must, at the same time, be observed that this improved condition bas been concurreat with an increase in the price of agricultura! produce, and with the existence of a corresponding stimulus to agricultural enterprise.” The sanitary condition of the je, as might be expeated ‘e comparativel supply of tood and euploy- Ly gratifying. One sign of this is found in house returns, and on this point the report states ar7 condition of the workhouzes during the period in question has been satisfactory ; the rates of mor- lakty reported for the suecesst¥e weeks being lower than in the preceding series, and the number of fever patients having at no part of the peri exceeded 2,435, which is equa! to about one-fith of the accommodation pro- vided for this class of patients in connection with the workhouse; and having been at one time as low as 1,160, or less than oue-tenta Part of the same accommodation.”’ Along with the ditm- nution of paupertsm, or that burden of poverty which is supported by State contributions, there has been a con temporancotis decrease ia mendicancy, or that burden which is borne b; rate liberality, aud which, among a kind hearted people like the Irish, ts one of the heaviest taxes that they have to submit to. On uhyect the Poor Law Commissiouers observe —*We have considered it @ matter of peculiar interest at this time to obtain some intelligence as to the state of mendicancy in the country, and, with this view, have obtained reports from the Poor Law inspectors throughout Ireland as tothe r tof their observations and experience on this subject. Low that the habit of mendicaucy bas ma- ia the population of Ireland; but that, oa the other band, in many parts of Ireland, the ‘evil Still exists in ecisiderable degree, ‘and that in others Us is strong probabil y of its revival.” With reterenee, therefore, to the” three perism, sanitary Condition and mendicancy, in an improving state. The fears en- missioners a8 to the iast of these ayniniched by their recommenda, vera! apd vigorods enforcement of the Vagrant act, which wil repress and prevent the growth of habis of mendicaney throughout the country; whilst tbe present time, in whieh the number of offenders in jails is comparatively small, offers peculiay conveniences tor the committal of vagrants, without running any risk o overcrowding the prisons. ‘There is another subject noticed by the commissioners, the importance of athich does not appear to be properly points of pu Ireiand ts pl tertoined by the evils are consider appreciated, They speak of a very large and abundant growth of potatoes, the lowered valve of which, relatively to the value of other produce, brought that arty recently into more general consumption than was the case for several years succeeding the famine.
